On February 2, 2022, Kari and Aaron gathered with their loved ones at The Springs Weddings and Events to renew their vows and to celebrate a beautiful love story.

Kari and Aaron first met on blind date in college. They spent the evening talking, listening to music and dancing. That night, Kari told her mom that she had met the man she would marry.

Kari and Aaron wasted no time in preparing for the future. After meeting in August, they were married in December. They soon began to expand their family, eventually having 4 boys.

In 2015, Kari started to notice some changes in her breast. After some time, her breast became engorged, and she went in to get it checked out. Sadly, her mammogram revealed the worst. Kari was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She underwent an intense chemotherapy regiment, followed by a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and her gallbladder.

Unfortunately, Kari’s cancer continued to progress, and her cancer moved into her bones. She has had numerous surgeries to repair the many bones that have broken in her body because of her cancer and deals with pain and exhaustion daily.

We loved meeting Kari and Aaron and were thrilled to grant their wish for a vow renewal. The day was filled pure beauty as our couple was toasted by friends, dined on delicious food and soaked in precious moments with their boys.

Our amazing planners, Ally and Kristin of Poppy Lane Events, went above and beyond to line up so many beautiful details. They assembled a remarkable team of wish granters who showered Kari and Aaron with love and light and for who we are so thankful.
